2 Kings 25
1 On January 15 of the ninth year that Zedekiah had been ruling, King Nebuchadnezzar arrived with his whole army, and they surrounded Jerusalem. They built ramps [made of dirt against the walls of the city], so that they could climb up the ramps and attack the city.
В девятый год царствования своего, в десятый месяц, в десятый день месяца, пришел Навуходоносор, царь Вавилонский, со всем войском своим к Иерусалиму, и осадил его, и устроил вокруг него вал.
2 They did that for two years.
И находился город в осаде до одиннадцатого года царя Седекии.
3 After Zedekiah had been ruling for eleven years, the (famine/shortage of food) had become very bad. All their food was gone.
В девятый день месяца усилился голод в городе, и не было хлеба у народа земли.
4 On July 18 of that year, the Babylonian soldiers broke through part of the city wall, [and that enabled them to enter the city]. All the soldiers of Judah [wanted to escape]. But the Babylonian soldiers surrounded the city, so the [king and] the soldiers of Judah waited until it was nighttime. Then they fled through the gate that was between the two walls near the king’s park. They ran across the fields and started to go down to the Jordan [River] Valley.
И взят был город, и побежали все военные ночью по дороге к воротам, между двумя стенами, что подле царского сада; Халдеи же стояли вокруг города, и царь ушел дорогою к равнине.
5 But the Babylonian soldiers chased/ran after them. They caught the king when he was by himself in the valley near the Jordan River. He was by himself because all his soldiers had abandoned him.
И погналось войско Халдейское за царем, и настигли его на равнинах Иерихонских, и все войско его разбежалось от него.
6 The Babylonian soldiers took King Zedekiah to Riblah [city] in Babylon. There the king of Babylon decided what they would do to punish him.
И взяли царя, и отвели его к царю Вавилонскому в Ривлу, и произвели над ним суд:
7 There the king of Babylon forced Zedekiah to watch as the Babylonian soldiers killed all of Zedekiah’s sons. Then they gouged out Zedekiah’s eyes. They put bronze chains on [his hands and feet] and then they took him to Babylon.
и сыновей Седекии закололи пред глазами его, а самому Седекии ослепили глаза и сковали его оковами, и отвели его в Вавилон.
8 On August 14 of that year, after Nebuchadnezzar had been ruling for 19 years, Nebuzaradan arrived in Jerusalem. He was one of king Nebuchadnezzar’s officials and captain of the men that guarded the king.
В пятый месяц, в седьмой день месяца, то есть в девятнадцатый год Навуходоносора, царя Вавилонского, пришел Навузардан, начальник телохранителей, слуга царя Вавилонского, в Иерусалим
9 He [commanded his soldiers to] burn down the temple of Yahweh, the king’s palace, and all the houses in Jerusalem. So they burned down all the important buildings in the city.
и сжег дом Господень и дом царя, и все домы в Иерусалиме, и все домы большие сожег огнем;
10 Then Nebuzaradan supervised all the soldiers of the Babylonian army as they tore down the walls of Jerusalem.
и стены вокруг Иерусалима разрушило войско Халдейское, бывшее у начальника телохранителей.
11 Then he and his soldiers took to Babylon the people who were still living in the city, the other people [who lived in that area], and the soldiers who had previously surrendered to the Babylonian army.
И прочий народ, остававшийся в городе, и переметчиков, которые передались царю Вавилонскому, и прочий простой народ выселил Навузардан, начальник телохранителей.
12 But Nebuzaradan allowed some of the very poor people to stay in Judah to take care of the vineyards and [to plant crops in] the fields.
Только несколько из бедного народа земли оставил начальник телохранителей работниками в виноградниках и землепашцами.
13 The Babylonian soldiers broke into pieces the bronze pillars, the bronze carts with wheels, and the huge bronze basin, all of which were in the temple courtyard, and they took all the bronze to Babylon.
И столбы медные, которые были у дома Господня, и подставы, и море медное, которое в доме Господнем, изломали Халдеи, и отнесли медь их в Вавилон;
14 They also took the pots, the shovels, the instruments for (snuffing out/extinguishing) [the wicks of] the lamps, the dishes, and all the other bronze items that the Israeli priests had used for offering sacrifices at the temple.
и тазы, и лопатки, и ножи, и ложки, и все сосуды медные, которые употреблялись при служении, взяли;
15 The soldiers also took away the (firepans/trays for carrying burning coals), the basins, and [all the other] items made of pure gold or pure silver.
и кадильницы, и чаши, что было золотое и что было серебряное, взял начальник телохранителей:
16 The bronze from the two pillars, the carts with wheels, and the huge basin were very heavy; they could not be weighed. (Those things had been made/A man named Hiram had made these things) for the temple when Solomon [was the king of Israel].
столбы числом два, море одно, и подставы, которые сделал Соломон в дом Господень, - меди во всех сих вещах не было весу.
17 Each of the pillars was (27 feet/8 meters) tall. The bronze capital/top of each pillar was (7-1/2 feet/2.3 meters) high. They were each decorated all around with something that looked like a net made of bronze chains connecting bronze pomegranates.
Восемнадцать локтей вышины в одном столбе; венец на нем медный, а вышина венца три локтя, и сетка и гранатовые яблоки вокруг венца - все из меди. То же и на другом столбе с сеткою.
18 Nebuzaradan took with him to Babylon Seraiah the Supreme Priest, Zephaniah his assistant, and the three men who guarded the entrance [to the temple].
И взял начальник телохранителей Сераию первосвященника и Цефанию, священника второго, и трех, стоявших на страже у порога.
19 And they found people who were still hiding in Jerusalem. From those people he took one officer from the Judean army, five of the king’s advisors, the chief secretary of the army commander who was in charge of recruiting men to join the army, and 60 other important Judean men.
И из города взял одного евнуха, который был начальствующим над людьми военными, и пять человек, предстоявших лицу царя, которые находились в городе, и писца главного в войске, записывавшего в войско народ земли, и шестьдесят человек из народа земли, находившихся в городе.
20 Nebuzaradan took them all to the king of Babylon at Riblah [city].
И взял их Навузардан, начальник телохранителей, и отвел их к царю Вавилонскому в Ривлу.
21 There at Riblah, in Hamath province, the king of Babylon commanded that they all be executed. That is what happened when the people of Judah were (taken forcefully/exiled) from their land [to Babylon].
И поразил их царь Вавилонский, и умертвил их в Ривле, в земле Емаф. И выселены Иудеи из земли своей.
22 Then King Nebuchadnezzar appointed Gedaliah, who was the son of Ahikam and grandson of Shaphan, to be the governor of the people who were still living in Judah.
Над народом же, остававшимся в земле Иудейской, который оставил Навуходоносор, царь Вавилонский, - над ними поставил начальником Годолию, сына Ахикама, сына Шафанова.
23 When all the army captains of Judah and their soldiers who had not surrendered to Nebuchadnezzar found out that the king of Babylon had appointed Gedaliah to be the governor, they met with him at Mizpah [town]. These army captains were Ishmael the son of Nethaniah, Johanan the son of Kareah, Seraiah the son of Tanhumeth from Netophah [town], and Jaazaniah from the Maacah region.
Когда услышали все военачальники, они и люди их, что царь Вавилонский поставил начальником Годолию, то пришли к Годолии в Массифу, и именно: Исмаил, сын Нефании, и Иоханан, сын Карея, и Сераия, сын Танхумефа из Нетофафа, и Иезания, сын Маахитянина, они и люди их.
24 Gedaliah solemnly promised them [that the officials from Babylon were not planning to harm them]. He said, “You may live in this land [without being afraid] and serve the king of Babylon, and [if you do], everything will go well for you.”
И поклялся Годолия им и людям их, и сказал им: не бойтесь быть подвластными Халдеям, селитесь на земле и служите царю Вавилонскому, и будет хорошо вам.
25 But in October of that year, Ishmael, whose grandfather Elishama was one of the relatives of the descendants of King David, went to Mizpah along with ten other men and assassinated/killed Gedaliah and all the men who were with him. There were also men from Judah and men from Babylon whom they assassinated.
Но в седьмой месяц пришел Исмаил, сын Нефании, сына Елишамы, из племени царского, с десятью человеками, и поразил Годолию, и он умер, и Иудеев и Халдеев, которые были с ним в Массифе.
26 Then many [HYP] of the people from Judah, important people and unimportant ones, and the army captains, were very afraid of [what] the Babylonians [would do to them], so they fled to Egypt.
И встал весь народ, от малого до большого, и военачальники, и пошли в Египет, потому что боялись Халдеев.
27 Thirty-seven years after King Jehoiachin of Judah was taken to Babylon, [Nebuchadnezzar’s son] Evil-Merodach became the king of Babylon. He was kind to Jehoiachin, and on April 2 of that year, he released/freed Jehoiachin from prison.
В тридцать седьмой год переселения Иехонии, царя Иудейского, в двенадцатый месяц, в двадцать седьмой день месяца, Евилмеродах, царь Вавилонский, в год своего воцарения, вывел Иехонию, царя Иудейского, из дома темничного:
28 He always spoke kindly to Jehoiachin and honored him more than the other kings who had been taken/exiled to Babylon.
и говорил с ним дружелюбно, и поставил престол его выше престола царей, которые были у него в Вавилоне;
29 He gave Jehoiachin new clothes to replace the clothes that he had been wearing in prison, and he allowed Jehoiachin to eat at the king’s table every day for the rest of his life.
и переменил темничные одежды его, и он всегда имел пищу у него, во все дни жизни его.
30 The king of Babylon also gave him money every day, so that he could buy the things that he needed. The king continued to do that until Jehoiachin died.
И содержание его, содержание постоянное, выдаваемо было ему от царя, изо дня в день, во все дни жизни его.
